Default Mending my SE C905 Mobile phone

Just a quick question on where to get my SE C905 mended

It's lost the sound from the earphone so I can't hear anything unless I switch to speakerphone.......apart from that the phone is perfect

Can I take it to a local mobile repair shop or can I pay SE to mend it. ?

Cheers

Shaun

I was quoted about £80+ but no greater than £120 to do mine and IS a very very Common problem

other very common problems are

if you send the same text to 15 peep from phonebook it changes sms to a mms message.

The battery soon becomes useless 3-4hour battery life

The Keypad tend to loose a button

and mine was 2 months old

My old Nokia N95 with 5meg Camera gave far better Pictures

C905 @@@@@@@ pile of rubbish.

After a bit of a fight i got it changed for a Nokia

IMHO IIRC

I'd contact sony uk or go to watchdog

back street phone repair £40!!!! maybe

Sent mine back for replacment twice for the very same fault. Rang up the second time and demanded a brand new retail packed one [as opposed to the recon they had sent as the 1st replacment] all is fine now, they have i think cured the bug, now calling it a 905 'i' or' a' or something.

I really want a I-Phone now though.

edit; if you hold the 'C' whilst on a call you should be able to hear. Not perfect but usable. Or just use a bluetooth.

Totally agree @@@@@@@@@ useless my 5meg Nokia camera gave better results than the 8meg C905

to have another Sony erricson they would have to give me £300 a free 12 month contract + free phone Diabolical ****

IMHO IIRC

Thanks for the info...........

I have replaced it with an LG crystal which has sorted out the problem but I'm left with a flakey phone with little resale value.

I actually bought it off SN......the seller was completely upfront and said it had been back to SE for repair and I have the paperwork to prove it. I have absolutely no gripe with the seller as it worked 100% and was completely unmarked.

It looks like it was the "Toyota Prius" of the phone world LOL

I'll drop it into a little shop in Carlisle which "repairs phones"

Cheers
